A dictionary, by its own de... |

| i don't care what anyone says or how they justify it. self diagnosis is not as good as a proper diagnosis and it doesn't count. you may as well be getting diagnosed by a doctor who knows nothing about ASDs. same thing, except worse cause people are bias towards themselves and what they want. you hav... |

nice that i am not the only one who has these sort of thoughts.
and heatherbabes i hate when people use opinion like it's fact no matter what the situation as well. but i think it bothers me more with autism cause like you said it makes people think incorrectly about you/your condition. |
